The arrival of warmer weather means you’ll likely be showing more skin. Prep your epidermis with this 60-minute scrub and body wrap, which exfoliates and rehydrates to improve its tone and texture. After an aesthetician (we recommend Nina Patino at the Upper East Side location) sloughs off dead cells using a house-made scrub packed with brown sugar, ginger and organic lime juice, she’ll pour warm coconut milk over your body and wrap you in a heated blanket. You’ll stay undercover for 30 minutes while your technician applies a cooling face mask. Following a rinse in the bathroom shower, your skin will feel so baby-soft, you won’t need to apply lotion for days. Ginger Coconut Melt, $150 (normally $195), at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa, 171 E 65th St between Lexington and Third Aves ● 66 E 55th St between Madison and Park Aves ● 160 Columbus Ave between 67th and 68th Sts ● 212-988-7816, paullabrecque.com.

Rejuvenate your skin and restore your sanity with this relaxing 60-minute seasonal spa treatment. It’s part of a new series of farm-to-table procedures at the Spa at Andaz Wall Street, featuring locally sourced ingredients from the Andaz hotel’s on-site farmers’ market. The service begins with a 30-minute back massage using French rosemary-almond oil. Next, you’re wrapped in a hot blanket soaked in freshly brewed chamomile tea, which is said to release toxins from your body and tighten your epidermis. While cocooned, enjoy an invigorating head and neck massage using eucalyptus-peppermint essential oil. The whole ordeal will leave your skin feeling silky smooth and your mind at ease. Chamomile Herbal Tea body wrap, $157 (usually $175), available through June 17 at the Spa at Andaz Wall Street, 75 Wall St at Water St (212-699-1830).
